Forms’ jewellery collection is reshaping our relationship with luxury

High jewellery is having a moment. But not the kind you’d expect—fewer heirlooms reserved for special occasions, more pieces incorporated into everyday wear. For many modern consumers, jewellery is not just about sparkle; it’s about self-expression, individuality and blending luxury into life’s quieter moments.

Forms, with its newest collection, is embracing this shift, rethinking what high jewellery means in a world where wearability and artistry go hand in hand.

At the heart of Forms’ new collection is a material that feels as unexpected as it is compelling: shakudō, an ancient Japanese alloy reimagined by the brand. Its deep, textured tones create a striking backdrop for luminous gems like mandarin garnets and rubellites, offering a contrast that feels modern and tactile. A hammered finish wraps around a minimalist bangle, while polished shakudō becomes a sculptural fan brooch. The material doesn’t just frame the gems—it elevates them, making each piece as much about the craftsmanship as the sparkle.

Forms’ innovation doesn’t stop with materials. Its constellation setting, a groundbreaking technique that minimises visible metal, creates a deliberate illusion of diamonds floating in mid-air. Earrings inspired by African accessories move fluidly thanks to concealed mechanisms, while bold aluminium elements offer a futuristic edge. It’s a balance of technical ingenuity and wearable art—pieces that don’t just adorn but interact with the wearer, feeling alive and dynamic.

And then there are the gems. A vivid paraiba tourmaline paired with muted aluminium feels electric and fresh, while a soft Colombian cabochon emerald glows like captured light. Burmese spinels and coloured diamonds speak to a richness that never overwhelms, staying true to Forms’ aesthetic: luxurious, but quietly so.

What sets this collection apart is how effortlessly it transitions from moment to moment. Geometric ruby earrings bring energy to a morning meeting, while signature leaf-inspired earrings easily shift from casual chic to understated elegance at dinner. These are not jewels for safekeeping; they are everyday companions, created for those who want their adornments to feel as personal as their favourite sweater.

Forms is redefining what luxury means today. This collection invites us to rethink our relationship with high jewellery—what if it weren’t reserved for special occasions but became part of the fabric of our daily lives? What if luxury wasn’t about excess but about how deeply it resonates with who we are?

Jewellery, in the world of Forms, becomes a conversation: between tradition and innovation, between boldness and wearability—and, most importantly, between the piece and the person wearing it.
